HOLOCAUST: THE EVENTS and THEIR IMPACT on REAL PEOPLE by Angela Cluck Wood
Published in 2015 by DK Publishing. Originally published in 2008.
DK Publishing consistently publishes strong "coffee table" type books. This book covers a more serious topic than most of their books, but it is immensely readable and compelling.
The text tells the basic history of how the Nazi party took control of Germany, started to implement their anti-Semitic agenda and eventually invaded their neighbors to start World War II. It also tells the story of a series individual Jewish victims as the timeline unfolds.
The book doesn't just cover the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, but goes out of its way to include the other victims as well.
The liberation of Dachau in April of 1945. This picture appears as a two-page spread in the book. |
There is a foreword by Steven Spielberg of just three paragraphs. It adds little to the book, but it is advertised on the front cover.
I rate this book 5 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: HOLOCAUST: THE EVENTS and THEIR IMPACT on REAL PEOPLE by Angela Cluck Wood.
